Shuttle launch at the beach

We went to the beach to watch the Shuttle launch and met up with the Schrader family as well as Steph, Dara and the MD Boys who are visiting for a while. It was pretty nice beach
weather so it worked out pretty well. We went to 27th St, which has some picnic tables and we ate dinner there before we went down and got all sandy. It got really crowded just before the launch and then everyone took off right after. We had briefly considered going down to Titusville to get closer but this launch attracted some big crowds for whatever reason. They closed most of the parks down there to new access by 4:00, which was 2.5 hours before the launch, so it was too crowded for me.

Wide angle view. I managed to get the awesome tourist outfit on that guy to the left included.

All I need are some tasty waves... These guys are probably too young to even get that.
